Your video about the Mazda Eunos Cosmo appeared on my TH-cam homepage and out of curiosity I watched it (I'm a huge fan of rotary engine, i have an RX8 and realy love it) and then at the end of the video TH-cam suggested me this video about the A310. My parents have 2 Alpine A310, one red 1600VE from 1971 (chasis number 0096, on of the 100 first A310 produced) and one yellow 2700VAA from 1983 so my curiosity pushed me to also watch this video. The red one on your video is the one from my father (Jean-Marc Aeschelmann), how pleasant is it to see it featured in a TH-cam video that explains really well the story of this model and Alpine in general, really nice video 😁
Oh wow, that's pretty cool! 😁 Didn't expect to feature a car that actually belongs to my viewers, but I guess that's welcome, not to mention it's one of the earliest A310's as well, neat! Though I must ask, how do you even service and upkeep these? I'm guessing there are dedicated communities for these cars that do a major part in that, but I'm just pretty curious to hear about it overall! 🙂 P.S. The RX-8's are also cool, I see, you're keeping up with the family tradition of owning a sporty coupe! Very nice!
@@RedLine_Car_Show We do practically everything by ourselves, all the maintenence and reparations, except when we didn't have te skills or tool (like for the body repars, or weel alignment), for the A310 my father have a lots of technical documentation because internet did not exist at the time when he bought it 😄 For sure! Sporty coupe for pleasure and comfortable sedans for daily driving 😁
the models that came next i tried them all but i kept the two 70´s models , nice video, mine is 77 , the second i bought, only changed the side mirrors from the huge squares to the sportive ones from Alpine, mine is white, i remenber in the 90´s when i drove it some would saw only bad things about it but never had a complain all maintenance was done. the Stratos from lancia was the one who got away ,it was hard to find one and always extremelly expensive
I followed the prices of A310 closely around the mid 80s. There were many available at that time here in Germany, some with Gotti wheels and Devil exhaust systems, for under 20thou DM. I was not scared of the rather simple mechanics as with e.g. Alfa Montreals (which were believe it or not on the market for the same price!) but insurance was prohibitive for me. To me it appears like a small DTPantera. Thanks for the fine video. :)
this new one never saw it in reality but have the early 70´s Alpine and second half of the 70´s my favorite renault alpine, early renaults like the alpine looks a lot like early porshe cars,
It does look like it indeed! And it appears, that the similarities are more than coincidental too! Given that Trevor Fiore had to work on both of these, even in the picture I've used for Trevor Fiore, he's holding a model of what appears to be a Monteverdi Hai!
my favorite car from renault the mid 70´s model i remenber some relation with Lotus and the back seems a lot like the back of the Europa, but recentelly no one seems to know nothing about it
Totally, as I've seen, Renault didn't even want Americans to drive the next model - the A610's! Given the door stickers that were warning the potential American customer that there's nowhere to officially service the A610's! Pretty neat rides for sure, both the A310 and A610!
Yep! Alpine had an agreement with Willys-Overland, and the A108's were also built in Brazil, known as "Willys Interlagos". If I remember correctly, just a few over 800 were made🙃
The same powerplant of the DeLorean with the reliability of a large manufacturer. If Renault sold the Alpine in the USA instead of their diminutive econoboxes, they would had succeed!
Indeed, it feels like that's the only way the French "quirkyness" would have a chance to flourish in the setting of the American market. It's unlikely that the common American folk would ever get used to the unusual and weird French daily-driving econoboxes 🙃
Mediocre results? I think this term is too arch if you consider F1 results (1 victory, P5, P4, P6), and even pre-Hypercar WEC results. It might not be great (although many would kill to win a race in F1), but it doesn't deserve this mediocre label.

The blue and yellow group 4 looks awesome
this new one never saw it in reality but have the early 70´s Alpine and second half of the 70´s my favorite renault alpine, early renaults like the alpine looks a lot like early porshe cars,
If you look at the body from the "A" pillar back the car is
a copy of the Super legendary Monteverdi HAI
Hemi engined monster!!!

One of my all time favourite cars. Was always wondering how much you could push that V6.
As an american, it sucks ass we never got these over here. Absolutely amazing vehicles and video

The Delorean was Almosen the same
Amazing!
wicked video
Je suis surpris de voir ma voiture dans votre vidéo mais elle est si belle en rouge ve n 96
1:50 wait! Were there Brazilian Alpines? And I didn't know about them??
Yep! Alpine had an agreement with Willys-Overland, and the A108's were also built in Brazil, known as "Willys Interlagos". If I remember correctly, just a few over 800 were made🙃
The French supra
30% weight on the front wheels? Wow..the French
just discovered the American treasured iconic practice....of the wheelstand!!!!

I’d they had thrown everythig into making a reliable small 4door with automatic and a/c, they would have succeeded.
